Local Job Opportunity

Force and Flow Studios on Dean Street is looking for "someone local who is passionate about the neighborhood/community" to fill a part-time administrative position. The full job description is below (follow the link above for more information about Force and Flow).

Force and Flow Integrated Bodywork (http://www.forceandflow.com) is in search of a part time Administrative Assistant. We are a small Yoga, Pilates and Bodywork studio located on Dean St. between Franklin & Bedford Ave's and are in the process of expanding. We are looking for someone extremely organized, energetic, versatile, and with excellent communication skills to be actively involved in all aspects of running a small business, including:

Excellent Internet skills and working knowledge of the Mac OSX operating system are essential. Familiarity with Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, QuickBooks and WordPress is preferred and familiarity with the MindBody studio management system is a plus.

In your one-page cover letter please clearly state your experience with and the nature of your interest in the field of somatic development (i.e. Yoga, Pilates, Bodywork, Sound Therapy, etc.), in addition to experience relevant to the job description. In a brief statement we would like to know about you, your goals and how involvement in a studio of this sort might benefit or support your personal vision. Please also indicate whether you have a driver’s license, own a car, own and ride a bicycle and your interest and skills in any home building/creative/craft skills you have. We prefer someone who is passionate about our local neighborhood but are open to all applicants.

The initial commitment is for 5-10 hours per week, with a strong likelihood of this increasing as the studio continues to grow. Hours are flexible and after an initial training period, much of the work can be done remotely. Pay is $10/hour or $15/hour in barter for classes, treatments and studio use. A combination of pay and barter is possible.

This is a great idea - posting neighborhood jobs around Franklin; it's like a virtual version of the help wanted sign in the window! This is especially handy with all the new places opening up in the area.
